How to Install Krayin on Arch Linux

Krayin is a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) web application that helps businesses to manage customer interactions, automate sales, and boost productivity. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Krayin on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Arch Linux running on your system
• Apache web server installed and running
• PHP installed and configured
• MySQL or MariaDB installed and running
• Git command-line tool installed

Step 1: Clone the Krayin Repository

First, you need to clone the Krayin repository from GitHub. To do that, open a terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/atatacrm/Krayin.git

Step 2: Install Required PHP Extensions

Krayin requires some PHP extensions to function properly. Install the following PHP extensions by running the command:

sudo pacman -S php-gd php-imap php-intl php-ldap php-mbstring php-pdo_mysql php-xml php-zip

Step 3: Set Up the Database

Create a new MySQL or MariaDB database and user for Krayin. You can use the following commands to create a new database and user:

CREATE DATABASE krayin;
CREATE USER 'krayinuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'krayinpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON krayin.* TO 'krayinuser'@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Make sure to replace krayinuser and krayinpassword with a username and password of your choice.

Step 4: Configure Krayin

Rename the file .env.example to .env in the Krayin project root directory. Open the .env file and set the following parameters according to your environment:

APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=http://your-domain.com

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=krayin
DB_USERNAME=krayinuser
DB_PASSWORD=krayinpassword

Make sure to replace the APP_URL, DB_HOST, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD parameters with your specific values.

Step 5: Install Dependencies

Change into the Krayin directory and install the Composer dependencies by running the following commands:

cd Krayin
composer install

Step 6: Set Up the Web Server

Create a new virtual host configuration file for Krayin under the Apache’s sites-available directory:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/krayin.conf

In the file, paste the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/Krayin/public
    <Directory /path/to/Krayin/public>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/krayin-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/krayin-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace your-domain.com and /path/to/Krayin with your specific values. Save and close the file.

Next, enable the new virtual host and the Apache rewrite module:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/krayin.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Complete the Installation

Open your web browser and go to http://your-domain.com. You should see the Krayin installer page.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

That's it! You have successfully installed Krayin on Arch Linux. You can now log in to the application by going to http://your-domain.com/login.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
